I guess it's too late now he's wrapped into the character he created...I like his approach of skating but I kinda do agree on the overall look.The helmet, the ugly cargos and this obsession of distinguishing from the mass tend to be now counter-productive.

Has Andy hit his ceiling? Like with the look and tricks, has he painted himself into a corner? A modern day Simon Woodstock?

[close]

Woodstock was a funny.Andy isn't.To me it's more like if Hosoi and Mullen had mated, And would be their offspring.

I wonder if Woodstock watches &&’s meteoric success trajectory, grits his teeth while crushing a beer bottle between his naked fingers, tears sting his eyes, thinks, "I could have had everything if I’d just added a helmet to my circus act?"

woodstock is a praising god for &&'s success.

Because you fucks love Andy enough to have multiple threads about him, here’s some more of the man, the myth, the legend.

It’s very && choice of girlfriend.
I know love is supposed to be “blind”, but cmon shouldn’t he be with some sweet quiet library like lady.
Guess it’s that Powell swag.

Everyone who's true to themselves and kind to others can find their dream partner. In this universe there's an infinite amount of yous doing exactly what you're doing right this moment.
Since that is likely true. All you gotta do it try a little harder to find your perfect partner and have an open heart.

Powelly swag probably has little to do with it.

Imagine if Andy was down with the Hammers Posse looking all Greco. With a thick Off white cable knit turtle neck sweater and some polyester flairs. Maybe some big ass Mafia Don gold frames with rose tint.

If we had that we could subvert the GOP get those foos thinking about slow complys instead of cultural nazism.

Hammers + Andy = world peace maybe

The Nomad. One of the reasons I started skatebloarding and tripping over products.

Mike Smith 3 too.

Brian Schroeder too. He did the album art for my cousins old band. He died the day it dropped in 86 I had no one to look up to in punk.

I seen the Nomad and boom I was like everyone in Marbehead is going to copy that guy! I fucking pulled it but everyone got into bad politics playing laces and braces and quit skating.

That's when I realized not everyone can live as free and rad like us real ones. Real punks can't stop because it's natural.

It's an 80s style thing.

They'll be bringing back the Swatch Impact tour next.

[S.]

His fame has definitely turned him into a bit of a kook. I am a fan of his skating, but he has bought a bit too much into his own hype.

For what it's worth, I know a guy who was kinda similair to Andy. Rocked the same moustache, long curly hair and even donned a grand total of 3 watches. Don't know where he got the inspiration from though.

He keeps them set to the respective time zones of both his native White Rock BC and his present home in southern California.  😉

This popped up, and confused the hell out of me.

https://youtu.be/zAqDiUx80_U?si=Wh0t7VdtH77hU-BE

It’s classic Andy. Does some really good tricks, and then probably infuriates people with some of his freestyle stuff in there.

But if you watch any of his regular vids where it’s just him cruising doing Gonz-style spontaneous shit, he looks decent, maybe even really good doing stock stuff like smiths, tres and ollies.

The video is a really nicely shot and edited, letting both &&’s kookiness and talent come through.

What confuses me is that it’s done by

A- Thrasher, who boycotted him for the longest time. It’s funny that the mag wouldn’t allow helmet shots for street, but Andy has worked around zero mainstream exposure enough to make a name for himself that they now let him in.

B- Shot and edited my Gregson, who if you saw the Mano mini ramp games, seemed like the most hostile and mocking of Andy.
I’m honestly surprised they managed to spend a whole day together, and that Chris put together such a good, balanced vid of Andy.

[backspinflip]

Swatch has a payscale for photo incentive, wearing a watch in a contest, ect. and they actually double and triple it depending on how many watches you're wearing. You'll see andy in lots of videos and comps wearing multiple but I'm pretty sure he doesn't rock more than one when he skates down to the beer store or take his lady out for ice cream.

[TheDingus]

Apparently Phelps is no longer “watchin’”

[sk8n hugon]

 A near miss of sliding into an elderly woman in the video is pretty off putting. The context and comments preceding it are pretty ironic as well.

Should vote then to close debate...
Kook or not?
I really use to enjoy watching him at the beginning when NKA followed him in canada on crazy ass spots and shit but the way he turns tend to make me sadly admit he finally is a kook...

There's no way Jake wouldn't like the guy. After a few rejected conversations.

We talking about the historian.

I believe it would only take time for jakey boy to fall head over heels with unwanted thoughts.


People hold thrasher too holy. Blackheart wrote for that shit so it's not actually that cool.

all the shit skaters do in the streets and you are pissed because someone *almost* bumped into someone? lolwat

[Uncle Flea]

It makes me ponder who was the biggest kook to ever work with thrasher.

Rick excluded of course.
